TUSCALOOSA ?? The University of Alabama opened its 2006-07 golf season with a tournament championship this past weekend at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic, a victory that earned the Crimson Tide Golf Week's Men's Team of the Week.
On its website, www.golfweek.com, it says, "Alabama won the Carpet Capital Classic by six shots over Clemson and 13 shots over Georgia and Georgia Tech. Alabama entered the final round trailing Clemson by three strokes and posted an 8-under-par 280 to claim victory. It's the first win for the Crimson Tide since it won the Conrad Rehling Alabama Invite in March 2005."
It is the first time Golf Week has awarded the Tide its college team honor.
Alabama returns to the course Monday and Tuesday, September 25-26, to compete in UAB's Shoal Creek Intercollegiate.
